Dear Jill,

It was nice to get a reply from you. The main problem that discourages people from taking up case study research lies with generalizability. Often, a researcher finds it to rationalize the findings with too many variables affecting it. Again, any attempt to pick and choose samples creates more problems. A random sampling may do away with generalizability. I just wanted to know if generalizability should be a concern in case study at all. Thank you.

Hi all,

I'm going to post a published article of my own. It is a case study. Thanx!

Does anyone have advice on multiple case analysis? I am using Stake 2006 and finding it very good, but am having trouble locating critiques of his approach, and alternative approaches to multiple case analysis. Any advice or comments form practiitoners and fellow researchers would be very useful.

hi ann,

it might be worth having a look at the new edition of yin, which may make some comment on stake's 2006 edition:

Yin, R. K. (2009). Case study research: Design and methods (4th ed.). Thousand Oaks: Sage Publications.

cheers,

sam

In terms of multiple case analysis, I think one of the seminal pieces out there would be Anne Haas Dyson's Social Worlds of Children Learning to Write in an Urban Primary School (Teachers College Press, 1993). She (Dyson) much more recently published a methodology handbook specific to case study analysis titled On The Case: Approaches To Language And Literacy Research (Teachers College Press, 2005) that I've found quite useful. Of course, the problem here is that it is sometimes too specific to language research but often can be extrapolated to other contexts. Hope this helps

Thanks again Marcella. I was able to get hold of "On the Case" and I agree it is an excellent introduction - and their writing is beautiful, simple yet packed with ideas. Appreciate your recommednation on this.

Dear Ann,

I read an article on the use of multiple case studies recently. Go to the following link for the article. This may give you an idea about how to use the technique in research.
